It started out innocently enough. I meandered to the back of the store in search of the elusive bargain. I figured that by mid-September, back to school items should most certainly be on clearance. And, they were! I trolled the discounted markers, marked down paper, and bargain backpacks.

And then I saw them.

The lights.

Boxes and boxes and boxes of Christmas lights. On display. Right next to the backpacks.

My head spun round and round in disbelief. Then I saw them, just past the meager Halloween costume display.

The long aisle filled with Christmas cards.

Target has a Christmas sandwich on display. In September.

EPIC FAIL.

Reminder: we're donating all September ad revenue to the Flight 93 Memorial Fund. Perhaps this would be a good time to check out an old post or two? How about the one that proves I'm a freak about putting up Christmas stuff early. Anybody who does it before me? Is an EPIC FAIL. (I'm talking to you, Target.)
